JERUSALEM, August 7, 2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation authorities forced a Palestinian to self-demolish his home in the town of Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem.
According to the Jerusalem Governorate, a resident of Wadi Hilweh neighborhood of the town of Silwan, was forces to demolish his house in order to avoid paying exorbitant fees if the municipality carries out the demolition.
The occupation authorities force Palestinians, particularly in occupied Jerusalem, to self-demolish their homes under the pretext of lacking a permit.
The Jerusalem Municipality systematically refuses to grant Palestinians building permits. These practices are part of Israel’s systemic policy to forcibly displace Palestinians from occupied East Jerusalem, paving the way for the expansion of illegal colonies in and around the city.
